Nate2112 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 For shoegaze and other alternative genres, which guitar is the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edm2112 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 My brother is the guitarist for my current project and we play a good bit of shoegaze-y stuff...He plays a Jagmaster and says its basically the best of both the Jag and the Jazzmaster...very versatile. And with proper adjustment the Squier plays on an equal level as the Fender...just with a more affordable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here, and IMO this isn't necessarily the best approach. I'd recommend figuring out exactly what your needs are in a guitar (single coil vs. humbucker, trem vs. hardtail, hollowbody vs. solid, etc.) and just keep hitting up music stores until that perfect guitar (the one that meets those needs within your budget and just "feels right" when you play it) comes along. Keep an open mind about models- they really aren't important, especially in the styles you seem to be going for. Besides, there's so many variations of those models that the difference between one Jag and another might be greater than the difference between a Jag and a Jazzmaster. It really isn't a question you can answer until you have the guitars in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fender56 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 And don't forget that the Jazzmaster has a scale of 25.5", and the Jaguar has a shorter scale of 24". Go try it in store to feel the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
